    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This CEN Technical Specification specifies a method of test for determining the natural durability of a timber against soft rotting micro-fungi. The method is applicable to all timber species.NOTEThis method may be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73 or EN 84.
